365 days from now
Enrollment totals are expected to peak within the next two to three years, depending on attrition rates. At that time, the Uptown classrooms that are currently being used for the Head of School's office space, counseling space, etc... will be needed for instructional space, meaning the Head of School's staff will need to move into other office space.
Some options are to move into commercial/office space near one of our campuses, purchase property in the Dixon neighborhood, move temporarily into office space that is less expensive but further from our campuses and then return to the Uptown campus, place new modular buildings at the Dixon campus. Factors to consider are funding, medium and long term organizational goals, available facilities in the city.
